For the period 1837 to 1865 & 1921 to 1983 the images are partially transcribed on surname and forename range. i.e. the first surname and first forename and the last surname and last forename on the images. Please note that this period is not fully transcribed and therefore not all features are available. For example Districts, Mother's Maiden Name, Spouse's Maiden Name, Date of Birth and Age at Death are not available. However this does allow you to search for your family relatives and the database will locate all those images where the surname may appear. It will usually display one page per quarter per year. You will then have to view the image to see whether your family relative appears on those particular pages.

There is no charge for the search results page for the period 1837-1865 & 1921-1983 although there is a small charge for viewing the images.
